Reading Time: <1 minuteI participated in the Japanese Society of Cosmetic Surgery on May 30th and 31st. I attended the event expecting an academic presentation, but unfortunately, there were many presentations that seemed to be more of a corporate PR problem, and some doctors presented surgical procedures from the Showa era as equivalent, which was quite disappointing. In particular, I was surprised at the presentation on the labia minora reduction surgery in gynecology, which was a Showa era procedure and not a procedure that was performed with wound healing in mind. In the presentation on labia minora reduction surgery, the doctor said, ``Let's sew finely, let's sew in between...'' This is impossible. There is no need to suture the mucosal surface such as the labia minora finely. The reason is that it is a suture on the mucosal surface, which heals better than the skin, and should be sutured relatively roughly so as to leave as few traces of suture as possible. It is a mistake to think that the finer the better when it comes to sutures, as this can cause poor blood flow and actually delay healing of the sutured area. In addition, the incision was made suddenly from the design, and the alignment of the sutured wound was delicate. It is an extremely difficult area to design, so if you clamp the incision with a spatula after design and anesthesia, the wound will match perfectly at the same time as the incision. You should not make the incision freehand. It was also disappointing that the presentations showed that the basic techniques of cosmetic surgery had not been thoroughly studied. Since this was a conference, I would have liked to see new surgical techniques or procedures that surpassed the standard. Patients are not aware of these facts. They may think, "Wow, you presented at a conference!" If you want to hold a high-quality conference, you may need to carefully consider the presentation topics.
